TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of electric tools, and in particular, relates to a weed removing tool.

BACKGROUND

The categories of weed removing tools are more and more refined. In the current market, a weed burner in a substantially elongated shape emerges. A common weed remover is only capable of removing stem and leaves of the weed, with the root of the weed still remaining in the soil. In this way, a period of time later, new stem and leaves may grow out from the root. However, the weed burner may spray hot wind which can kill the root of the weed, which prevents the growth of new stem or leaves from the root. Since this type of product is just released to the market, few development resources are provided to the product, such that the product is subjected to various problems during use.

In the related art, to solve this technical problem, the invention patent No. 201210228409.X entitled with “DEVICE, ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD FOR MANUALLY LOCALLY REMOVING WEED” is provided. A heat generator 4 attached to a rod 2 is disclosed. The heat generator 4 includes a fan and a heating resistor, the heat generator 4 injects a hot air jet flow J1 to an interior volume V5 of a clock-shaped member 5, wherein the clock-shaped member 5 is provided with a free end 51 operable to bear and support the device 1 on the ground. According to this invention patent, the clock-shaped member 5 is provided with at least one hole operable to exhaust an air jet flow J2 from the interior volume V5 of the clock-shaped member 5. A spacing between the hole and the free edge 51 is greater than 2 cm.

In the related art, the blower and the hot weed remover, although with different names, operate under the similar principle. However, the hole designed in the related art reduces the efficiency of the heating device to some extent. Particularly, the heating device fails to conduct heating based on precise positioning. In addition, turbulence may be caused during adjustment the air speed at the air outlet, thereby causing user inconvenience.

SUMMARY

To solve the above problem, the present invention provides a weed removing tool which may be more conveniently used, to attain improvements in three aspects of weed removing efficiency, product use safety and product life time.

To achieve the above objective, in the present invention, a weed removing tool includes a tool body and a cover body arranged on an air outlet on the tool body. The cover body is provided with a support frame forming a heat dissipation gap between an opening and an object to be processed during operation. Such a structure firstly prevents the problem that the entire heating object is over-heated and burned because the cover body is coated over the heating object and is not timely removed. In addition, with such a structure, during heating, the force applied by the hands may be reduced by means of the support frame, the working load may be lowered, and the entire heating precision is higher.

Preferably, the support frame includes a fixing portion connected to the cover body, and a support end acting on the object to be processed and forming the heat dissipation gap.

The present invention further provides a weed removing tool including a tool body and a cover body arranged on an air outlet, the cover body having a heat dissipation port. A cover sheet for regulating the size of the heat dissipation port to thus regulate the temperature at the air outlet is arranged at a position on the cover body corresponding to the heat dissipation port. With such a structure, during heating, the size of the heat dissipation port may be adjusted according to the actual needs, which does not waste the heat within the cover body, and additionally prevents safety risks caused by over-heating within the cover body. The entire structure may be more conveniently carried and mounted.

Preferably, the cover sheet is connected to the cover body, and is movable relative to the cover body. Through movement, the cover sheet may adjust the area covering the heat dissipation port, thereby controlling the heat dissipated from the heat dissipation port and achieving the effect of temperature adjustment.

Preferably, the cover sheet is an outer cover coating the cover body, the outer cover axially moving relative to the cover body and being fixed to a selected position. In this way, the size of the heat dissipation port may be adjusted by axially moving the cover sheet.

Preferably, the cover sheet is an outer cover coating an outer side of the cover body, the outer cover being provided with a limiting port 88 matching with the heat dissipation port, and the outer cover rotating relative to the cover body. The overlap portion between the limiting port 88 and the heat dissipation port is an actually opened portion of the heat dissipation port. With such a solution, the actually opened area of the dissipation port may be adjusted by rotating the outer cover, thereby adjusting the actual temperature within the cover body.

Preferably, the air outlet of the tool body is further provided with a root burning probe. With such a structure, the tool may be directly inserted into the soil to cut the root of the weed, thereby really achieving the effect of absolutely eliminating the weed. In this way, the weed may be effectively, environmentally and quickly removed. In addition, during the weed removing, the soil may also be loosened, and the pests underneath the soil may also be killed, thereby improving the quality of the soil.

Preferably, the root burning probe is a hollow conical structure, and a top portion of the probe is provided with an air outlet hole. Such a structure ensures that the burning and removing work is conducted in a short range after the tool is inserted into the soil.

Preferably, heat dissipation holes are arranged on a side wall of the root burning probe. The heat dissipation port provided on the side wall of the root burning probe prevents overheat of the intermediate portion of the root burning probe. During use, the heat dissipation port on the side wall of the root burning probe outside the soil prevents the root burning probe from being burnt due to over-heat.

Preferably, an edge of the air outlet hole at the top portion the root burning probe is a blade portion. In this way, the weed may be firstly cut and then burnt, thereby achieving a very thorough removing effect.

Preferably, the root burning probe is a solid metal cone. In some scenarios where the soil is very solid and hard, the hollow root burning probe is hard to be inserted, and thus the probe is subjected to great wear. In this case, a solid metal cone may be conveniently inserted into the root of the weed. However, such a structure requires that the probe is inserted to be very close to the root of the weed, in order to achieve an anticipated burning and removing effect.

Preferably, the weed removing tool further includes at least one wheel body arranged on a side face of the cover body and operable to support the weed removing tool. When the weed removing region needs to be shifted, a user may directly conveniently move the tool to a next location by means of pushing. This prevents the spray cover from being affected by the objects on the ground. During normal use, the weed removing tool has its own weight and may be subjected to jitter. However, in this solution, the wheels of the tool withstands from the pressure and jitter, thereby prolonging the life time of the spray cover, and enhancing the overall stability of the entire tool.

Preferably, the weed removing tool further includes a free edge, wherein a plane where the freed edge of the cover body is located forms an inclined angle with a plane perpendicular to an air outlet direction of the air outlet. The free edge refers to an edge of an air outlet side of the opening on the cover body. With such an angle, the tool may not be necessarily perpendicular to the ground when a hot wind gun is used. This facilitates the use and operations of the tool.

Preferably, the tool body and the cover body are integrally formed.

With the technical solution of the present invention, the tool is designed with respect to different weed burning and removing scenarios very dedicatedly, and the weed burning and removing work may be more professionally, more safely and more effectively conducted.

These advantages and characteristics of the present invention are described hereinafter in detail in the detailed description, and accompanying drawings.
